Romance in the modern world!
Senator Cory Booker asked Mindy Kaling out on a date via Twitter after the actress poked fun at him on a recent episode of her Hulu series The Mindy Project. In the scene, her character is surprised to learn the New Jersey politician attended a friend's event. "Cory Booker? I can't believe he came. I guess anything to get out of Newark, huh?" she quipped.
Booker took that as an opportunity to strike up an online flirtation!
"Ouch! @mindyKaling heard Dr. Lahiri dissed Newark last night... (I still â¤ï¸U!)," he tweeted. "Senator, if Mindy Lahiri shades it, it means we know it's cool. Thanks for the â¤. It's mutual!" the TV star wrote back.
"You are making my day! Thanks for the clarification. And If the â¤ï¸is really mutual … Come have dinner with me in Newark? #PleaseSayYes," Booker responded, and the funny lady accepted! "@CoryBooker yes. Now let me get the PATH train schedule," she said.
Can you imagine if they got married?! What a cute story!
